Welders Home >> Arc Welding

The Arc welding is a process utilizing the concentrated heat of an electric arc welding to join metal by fusion of the parent metal and the addition of metal to the joint frequently provided by a consumable electrode.



The current arc welding source may be a rotating rectifier, generator or transformer and must have transient and static volt-ampere characteristics planned for arc welding stability and weld performance.

Electric current for the arc welding may be either direct or irregular, depending upon the material to be welding and the individuality of the electrode used.
